Maddy Teriminee And The Poisened Willow.
Chapter One: The Lettter.
A white owl stood at the front door of 26 LakeView Road, Malverne, New Hampshire. Tied to it's leg was a letter from Hogwarts School of Wizardry. It was waiting patiently for a member of the family inside to notice it so it could deliver the letter to Madeline Auguste Teriminee a soon to be student. She of course was doing something else rather then stand here and wait for her letter, because of course she had no idea that she was a Wizard. She had seen her powers and known about them for a while but she hid them away from the people she loved because she knew how cruel people could be, even her own family would have called her a freak if they knew. She wouldn't even consider the idea that there were other people like her. So the owl waited, it was almost time, soon her father would be off to work and the moment he will open door will be the moment the bright white owl will swoop in to deliver the letter, but all he could do now was wait.
Madd was sitting up in her bed, her bright yellow sheet clung to her sides and her blue comforter that didn't match in the slightest. Her light brown hair was extremely messy and her hazel eyes stung from the bright light seeping in from her window. She stredged her arms out and yawned. Today was the horrible day where her parents would have to sign her up for boreing year at LakeView Middle School. The thought of another year with the same stupid people she had to deal with in elemantry school made her angry. Espically thinking about that stupid petty girl Julia Claire. Her blood was boiling and her skin was growing hotter by the minute. She opened her palm and found a spark of fire setteling there and she gasped and quickly ran to the bathroom. She quickly shoved her hand under the faucet and turned the tap to cold, in the next second she could feel her hand completely drenched in cool water and the fire automaticlly went away. She sighed in relief and dried her hands off with a white hand towel. This had been happening alot lately and she was afraid what would happen if anyone ever found out. She thinking to herself of all the horrible possibilities when she her name being called from downstairs.
"WHAT?" She screamed at whoever was calling her name. She walked out of the bathroom and towards the stairs to hear her mother call out to her.
"Breakfast is ready!" Her mother screamed loudly, and Maddy walked down the stairs to her quaint kitchen. It was very old and nothing at all special, with a small white table for five sat in the middle. She quickly grabbed a chair and a plate and started to pile it with pancakes that her mother had made. Her sister Gabby and brother Micheal were doing the same.
"What were you doing up so late Maddy?" Gabby asked. She knew there was something wrong in the behavior of her sister recently but couldn't put her finger on what exactly it was.
"What are you talking about I went to bed round Nine" Maddy said matter-of-factly. She then shoved a peace of pancake in her mouth.
"But you were talking to someone" Gabby shot back at her,smirking to herself. Micheal was watching the entire thing with curious eyes. Maddy swallowed her pancake, and looked up at her sister, with red cheeks. She'd been having horrible dreams about people hurting other people that she cared about, but she had no idea who they were all she knows is that after the green light fades they aren't alive anymore, and that strangely upsets her in her sleep. The people in her dream were two boys and a girl. One boy seemed a bit older with brown curly hair and deep brown eyes. The next boy had dark, dark brown hair, almost black and bright green eyes. The girl had bright red hair and beautiful blue eyes.
"I must have had a bad dream or something... I really don't remember Gabby" She said and placed her fork and knife down. Remebering the unpleasent dream made her lose her apeitite, and believe me she usually had quite a large one. She grabbed her plate and emptied the remaining pancake in the trash can and placed her plate in the sink. She stared out the window and a soft silent tear escaped her hazel eye. She felt like a total idiot, she didn't even know the people from her dreams. When she whiped the tear away she finally saw it, the white owl standing there by the front door of her house with a letter attached to it's leg. She gasped in surprise, and turned quickly around to her mother, sister, and brother. "Mom why is there an owl with a letter outside?" She asked and her mother came to the window quickly.
"Oh I don't know maybe I could 'shoo' it away" Her mother stumbled over to the door and opened it to the find the owl, she quickly threw her hands up at it, and tried to 'shoo' it, but it flew inside of the house. The three children ran into the living room where it landed on their shaggy paige rug. It looked up at Maddy with it's big brown eyes and knew instantly that, she was the girl so it lifted it's leg up to her. Maddy stared at the owl and gingerly kneeled down to it's level trying hard not to scare it. She then gently untied the string from it's leg releasing the letter, the bird than raised it's head up to her almost in a solute and flew out the door. She turned the letter over and her two sibling kneeled down to her level along with their mother. It was adressed to her:
Ms.
The small room up the stairs and to the left.
26 LakeView Rd.
Malverne
New Hampshire.
Everyone stared at the letter in confusion for a moment and then Maddy went to open it. Once opened she tossed the envelope to the side. Her brother caught and read it to himself over again. She unfolded the letter and brought up to her face. It read:
HOGWARTS SCHOOL of WITCHCRAFT AND WIZARDRY
Headmistress Minerva McGonagall

Deputy Headmaster.
A smile was plastered on Maddy's face as she read the last line aloud to her mother and siblings. She finally realised what she was and what all the weird things were, and she wasn't a freak there was other people like her. Her sister had to rain on her parade though.
"This is some joke right?" Gabby laughed loudly and looked over to her mother who did the same. Micheal stood there rather confused and Maddy frowned.
"I don't think it's a joke!" Maddy yelled which made Gabby laugh harder. Her mother stopped instantly and grabbed Maddy by her shoulders.
"Madeline sweetie it has to be magic isn't real" She said firmly, this made Gabby fall over laughing.
"Of Course it isn't real!" She screamed. Maddy was getting angry, it had to be real. The Hot sensation came back to her and she opened her palm again to find fire there. She leaned over her sister holding the fire.
"Is this real Gab?" She yelled and when her sister saw the fire she screamed and stood up quickly running to the other side of the room. The fire in Maddy's hand died down.
"H-ho-www d-did youu d-do th-hat?" Gabby trembled. Maddy aproached her gingerly.
"I'm not quite sure but I know that it's because I'm a wizard." She turned to her mother. "You have to believe me this stuff is real! So please let me go to this school mom! Please!" She pleaded with her eyes. Her mother's gaze softened, and she knew that what her daughter was saying was true. She walked up to her and hugged her tightly.
"Alright I'll let you go." She said and it felt like weights had been lifted off of Maddy's shoulders and all her troubles had disapeared. She was sooo wrong.
